When you respond, keep in mind the type of position you are interviewing for, the company culture, and the work environment. However, you don’t want to simply regurgitate a list of reasons why you are right for the position.
Instead, answer with a couple positive adjectives or phrases that describe your personal characteristics or your attitude (sometimes employers ask a similar question, “What three adjectives would you use to describe yourself?”). Make sure to focus on the qualities that make you an ideal match for the job and the company.
You typically do not need to follow up your response with specific examples of times you have displayed each characteristic – often, an employer wants a relatively concise answer to this question.
